Bio
Arriving from East Fremantle with a reputation for flair, Ray Sterrett was a flamboyant utility who became a brief cult figure at Geelong during the high-scoring Malcolm Blight era. Distinguished by his long blonde locks and exuberant on-field celebrations, he is best remembered for his cameo during the 1989 finals series, where he played an energetic role in the Preliminary Final demolition of Essendon. Despite that performance, he famously missed selection for the legendary Grand Final against Hawthorn the following week, a heartbreak that largely defined his short tenure at Kardinia Park. A mobile tall capable of playing at either end of the ground, Sterrett struggled to cement a regular spot in a star-studded lineup and eventually returned to the WAFL after three seasons.
